frustration!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

can you believe how many people don't around here?! some people are just plain ignorant & go around spreading mis-information or asking the same thing over & over again in the same thrad when somebody else just addressed that issue!

some people just need to quit being lazy & at least read the first post all the way through before hitting the 'quick reply'

sorry if i get in trouble for ranting like this, but i thought somebody should say something, so i figured the 'If I get banned...' thread would be the right place.





ok... so i ain't really that dense...

Ignore them.

If you're ignorant, you just don't know.

If you're stupid, you don't know, but you really should by now. And there's probably very little hope of ever teaching you.
Your comparison of the terms are correct. And I could very well ignore them, I have done so for around 2 years now on Camaro5. I choose my sites that I restrain myself on, which includes forums that I moderate. I'm just giving fair warning to the general populace that I've decided to stop ignoring stupidity on thie site.

No that is NOT my point.

The point is, there is a lot of information to shift through on here now, and searching my be an inefficient answer. It would be IGNORANT of me to expect a noob to know where to find the answers of his pressing questions and frustrations. It would be STUPID of me to simply answer "DO A SEARCH" if I myself did not conduct one to prove that the answer is plain and simple to find.

Don't get banned, Merf.

When the site grows this large, of course there will be people who just don't care to search for stuff and also go overboard on other stuff. When you get more people, you get more issues.

We're all trying to deal as best we can w/ all issues. Hang in there with us.

And if the senior members would for some reason get upset at a newbs question, just don't answer and move on. Don't call him out and refuse to give direction. C'mon. Help out a fellow enthusiast!

The word on the street is Pink is the only one getting her gas cap on the drivers side because she decided to wait. The power of PINK.......never underestimate it.

Well, just got to the office. What's this thread about? I think we should drill in Alaska.


But really. You should feel pretty good Merf. The response in this thread comes from ALOT of people who don't frequent the off topic area much. And even one guy who made his very first post. Good job.

Hope your feeling better soon.

We can't always get to all the threads. So, if you need us to take alook at something, report it and we'll get to it ASAP.
Greg Norris can. lol

it has gotten a bit repetitive as any of us can attest. what I get more upset with is the members who say they've been watching the boards for years now but then go ask obvious questions.

but like Tag said. the site has grown. and when you take in statistics of the site, there are going to be more and more noobs asking questions that have already been answered.

Oh what color should I get???

I think we need a "BANNED" Thread. This might make the Mod's job easy. It could start out something like: Anybody that would like to be Banned from Camaro5, sign in here!
Then your job is easy........just remove them. End of Story!
Who's 1st? I bet some idots would accualy sign in!!
Hey imagine, we might kill two birds with one stone...A**holes and Idots with one whack!
Where do I sign up????



NOTE: Humor keeps a happy face!!!!!!!!!

I have to admit, I did not foresee this thread taking on life in this manner. Weird.
